Build on Abstract Chain with Blast and be part of the consumer crypto evolution

Abstract is a Layer 2 ZK rollup built on top of Ethereum, dedicated to the wide adoption of culture, community and creativity in Web3. Developers focused on SocialFi, or NFTs can use Blast to build on Abstract Chain leveraging the reliable and high-performance RPCs.

Benefits of Abstract

About Abstract

Abstract is ZK rollup designed for on-chain culture and community. The Pudgy Penguins NFT collection has been the starting point for creating an L2 committed to building a Web3 infrastructure to support on-chain brand building and consumer engagement.

Abstract is EVM-compatible and supports all existing Ethereum tooling. It is based on zkSync's zkStack VM which is EVM compatible, but not EVM equivalent. The majority of smart contracts will work, but there will be cases where contracts may need to be rewritten. The rollup scales Ethereum by moving computation off-chain and verifying batches of transactions through ZK proofs, allowing Abstract to scale Ethereum while still inheriting its high security properties, including censorship resistance and liveness guarantees.

Abstract aims to pioneer a new era driven by the culture economy, by creating distribution rails, empowering builders, and introducing innovative economic mechanisms on-chain.
